It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next job that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Buckskin and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel winter grey Toyota Highlander rental in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the hotel she was residing at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG22 Postcode - Buckskin Misfueling

A lady had broken down on a street, Buckskin having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and truly troubled as she had put £60 petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to relax her as best we could, telling her that it would be okay. When we got to her she was not aggrieved any more and was rather curious in watching our fuel drainer perform the fuel drain on her son's Mercedes C-Class. Later she said: "My car is like my baby, I only recently paid for it and thus it genuinely freaked me out that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm really pleased that it was very easily repairable."

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
